Newsom Says He’ll Move to Redraw California Map
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta said California may redraw congressional maps and ask voters to approve them if Texas pursues similar redistricting.
- This move responds to Texas Republicans' 2026 plan to redraw districts at Donald Trump's behest aiming to flip five Democratic seats to Republicans.
- The Texas plan splits Democratic bastions and links distant Democratic and Republican areas, prompting Democratic legislators to attempt fleeing to block the changes.
- Bonta indicated that the plan under consideration aligns with the available legal options, while Governor Newsom is considering measures such as holding a special election.
- The redistricting battle could reshape congressional control, as Republicans hold a narrow House majority and Democrats lead in polling ahead of midterms next November.
